The Butterfly Effect is basically about this kid who has led an absolutely awful life. His father has an unheard-of disease which causes him to black out often, and during one such black-out, he murders some people. So this kid inherits the disease: sometimes, he completely blacks out, and when he wakes up, he's holding a knife or lying on the ground or something. His psychologist, who also worked with his father, tells him to write down everything that happens in these composition books because it might help the memory loss, so he does. From about second grade, all the way through his teen years, when he moves away from the town this all starts in, into his adult life. Now he's in college, he's twenty-something, and his life is pretty much trash. He's doing okay, taking classes, doing well, but it's like it's just empty. So one day he starts looking back through all his old diaries, and he comes to a page about one of the more terrible events in his life. As he's reading, the world around him starts to come apart, and suddenly he's back to that day, living it again. He soon realizes he can actually go back to these terrible events which, in the end, lost him his friends and his life, and change them. But for some reason, every time he goes back and changes something, some random event gets thrown into the mix, and changes everything again, making his future as horrible as it had been before. This is a seriously disturbing movie, but it is extremely good. The ending is worth it. You must go see it. It's just awesome. Good acting, too.
